Iginla's closer to Kaberle in value than Hossa. Hossa was 29 and one of the best two-way players in the game. Iginla will be brought in to supply secondary scoring.

However, I do think he will bring more to the team he goes to than he has to the Flames in recent years, if only because he'll have something to prove, and will play like he did in the Dallas game. For a few weeks anyway (which is all the team picking him up will need).

Edit: Also, the Kaberle deal is widely regarded as overpayment. It's risky to assume another GM is going to make a bad deal for Iginla. It may happen. But don't bank on it.
